REFERRAL CODES

Referral Codes

Referral codes let you invite companies and candidates into the network while keeping source attribution connected to your account. If later activity results in a qualified placement, that attribution can support a future sourcer payout.

01 -- OVERVIEW

What a referral code does

A referral code is used to connect a new signup back to the original source.

When someone joins through your code, the platform can attach that company or candidate to your account for attribution purposes.

The referral code does not create an instant payout by itself. It creates the attribution layer that may later support a sourcer payout if a qualified placement happens.

02 -- TWO PATHS

Referral codes can be used in two ways

Referral codes support both company-side and candidate-side sourcing.

The type of invite matters because it determines what kind of attribution is created and how future payout eligibility may apply.

Company path

Use this path when inviting a direct company to join Splits Network.

Candidate path

Use this path when inviting a candidate into Applicant Network.

Attribution matters

The invited user type determines whether the relationship is treated as company-side or candidate-side sourcing.

HOW IT WORKS

The referral code flow

Referral codes create attribution first. Payout only happens later if the platform activity qualifies.

Create a referral code

Go to Management > Referral Codes in your dashboard and create a code for your outreach.

Share the correct link

Use the appropriate path depending on whether you are inviting a company or a candidate.

The signup is attributed

When someone joins through your code, the platform can connect that signup back to you as the original source.

Future activity may qualify

If that referred relationship later results in a qualified placement, a sourcer payout may be created under platform rules.

03 -- IMPORTANT

What referral codes do not do

Referral codes do not guarantee a payout.

They also do not turn recruiting agencies or recruiting firms into eligible Company Sourcer residual relationships. Company-side sourcing applies to direct companies only.

The referral code creates attribution. Actual payout depends on platform rules and a completed qualified placement.
